The Goddess Who Turned into a Cow
Picture it: seventh grade hallways smelling of a mixture of old book pages, coffee lingering on sleepy adults' breath, and the mix of Victoria Secret body mist and Axe body spray. The walls lined with blue lockers, a young girl, feeling frumpy in her Aéropostale jeans and sweater, clutching a stack of books against her chest. She avoids her locker due to the unseemly crush she has on the boy who lives on the other side of the tracks.

On Holiness
In 2010, I wrote a poem and called it Holy. I wrote it for my English class and was astonished to learn it won a school-wide prize. There was some furor: I was a lowly Fourth Former, and prizes were typically handed to departing Sixth Formers. The William Otis Smith Prize for English Verse was my first major award, an achievement I remain achingly proud of years after the fact.

Valuable Lessons
The first story I had ever written was while I was in Jr. High. I had a great idea to write a story about a young woman who went to another world when she dreamed, and the working title was 'Harganoph and the Tree of Life.' In the story, a teenager named Marie would project into another reality in her dreams. This other world was a place with magic and adventure called 'Harganoph.' One night, she finds that she doesn't wake up from her dream. In fact, she's stuck in Harganoph. She's informed by a scientist that her living body must have slipped into a coma and she needed to get back to that body before she dies. Marie and a group of her friends start their journey to the Tree of Life, which is supposed to have the magic needed to bring her back to her real world, but as she finds the fantasy more appealing than reality, she starts to doubt if she even wanted to be saved at all.

What I Found in a Bookstore
In reflecting on the differences in my life after curing decades of major depression, I look for concrete evidence of real change. In early 2020 I entered a bookstore. While checking out, I saw a flier advertising a writing group that met monthly in the shop after hours. The old me would have wanted to attend, but would certainly have made up excuses and justifications not to, underpinned by low self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy. It would have been just another missed opportunity tossed on the pile of regrets, but the new me took down the details and I promised myself I’d attend the next session.

Poetic Reverence
Right here in my world lives hope. And forging ahead whence comes determination, a source to promote purposeful writing. To me, writing has always been a soulful experience. I was accustomed so,very early, to seek for a variance in sound and syntactic structures, quite naturally.

A Retrospective
I will start off by saying that I lived in my head A LOT as a kid. It was ridiculous. I also had zero friends and was dealing with other issues and feelings that I did not really have anyone to talk with about. Dad was there but he had bigger fish to fry, and I knew that, so I didn’t want to trouble him.

My First Try
Every writer starts somewhere; it’s all a matter of putting pen to paper or finger to keyboard. When I was younger, I was an avid reader, and naturally, I wanted to write a story of my own. My first attempt at being a writer was a fantasy adventure about a group of misfits who get pulled into a battered computer and go through a series of trials and quests to save a crumbling kingdom.
